We have used calretinin antibodies to label selectively the mosaic of AII amacrine cells in the macaque retina. Confocal analysis of double-labeled material indicated that AII dendrites spiral down around descending rod bipolar axons before enveloping the synaptic terminals. Processes from a previously observed dopaminergic plexus in the inner nuclear layer were observed to contact the somata o...

The ““ seasonal ÏÏ Yarkovsky force is due to radiation pressure recoil, which acts on anisotropically emitting rotating bodies, heated by sunlight to di†erent temperatures at di†erent latitudes on their surfaces. This force gives rise to a signiÐcant draglike e†ect on rapidly spinning asteroid fragments B1È100 m in size. Here we present a new treatment of this e†ect, based on the numerical solu...

A chain regularization method is combined with special purpose computer hardware to study the evolution of massive black hole binaries at the centers of galaxies. Preliminary results with up to N = 0.26 x 10(6) particles are presented. The decay rate of the binary is shown to decrease with increasing N, as expected on the basis of theoretical arguments. The eccentricity of the binary remains sm...

The saliency map is a computational model and has been constructed for simulating human saliency processing, e.g. pop-out target detection (e.g. Itti & Koch, 2000). In this study the spatial structure on the saliency map was investigated. It is proposed that the saliency map is structured into processing units whose size is increasing with retinal eccentricity. In two experiments the distance b...

In angle calibrations the uncertainty contributions of the autocollimator and index table are easily estimated as these uncertainties are well documented, but it is more difficult to determine the uncertainties associated with flatness deviations, eccentricity and pyramidal errors of the measuring faces. Deviations in the flatness of angle surfaces have been held responsible for the lack of agr...

[1] Flexural modeling of Ithaca Chasma on Tethys suggests that the elastic thickness and the surface heat flux were 5–7 km and 18–30 mW/m respectively, when the feature formed ( 4 Gyr B.P.). Tidal heating is a plausible heat source, suggesting that Tethys’ eccentricity was higher in the past. Depending on Tethys’ internal structure, eccentricities in the range 0.001 to 0.02 are sufficient to ha...

This paper presents the sensitivity analysis of the behavior of a synchronous machine using the winding function theory considering the effect of static air-gap eccentricity. The winding function theory as a method to calculate the inductances of synchronous machines from the geometry and the actual arranging of the windings is presented. Then, detailed numerical simulations are carried out to ...

The effect of retinal eccentricity on stimulus identification was investigated by measuring observers' ability to identify digits of various sizes presented briefly at different locations in their visual fields. The stimuli were either presented one at a time or presented in pairs with each member of the pair at a different eccentricity and having a different size. Stimulus-response confusion m...

The Minimum Eccentricity Shortest Path Problem consists in finding a shortest path with minimum eccentricity given undirected graph. problem is known to be NP-complete and W[2]-hard respect the desired eccentricity. We present fpt-algorithms for parameterized by modular width, distance cluster graph, combination of treewidth eccentricity, maximum leaf number.
